Those People Next Door By Kia Abdullah

Those People Next Door By Kia Abdullah


WELCOME TO YOUR DREAM HOME…
Salma Khatun is extremely hopeful about Blenheim, the safe suburban development to which she, her husband and their son have just moved. Their family is in desperate need of a fresh start, and Blenheim feels like the place to make that happen.

MEET YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURS…
Not long after they move in, Salma spots her neighbour, Tom Hutton, ripping out the anti-racist banner her son put in their front garden. She chooses not to confront Tom because she wants to fit in. It’s a small thing, really. No need to make a fuss. So Salma takes the banner inside and puts it in her window instead. But the next morning she wakes up to find her window smeared with paint.

AND PREPARE FOR THE NIGHTMARE TO BEGIN…
This time she does confront Tom, and the battle lines between the two families are drawn. As things begin to escalate and the stakes become higher, it’s clear that a reckoning is coming… And someone is going to get hurt.

My Thoughts:

I loved the sound of this story, it is all about Salma and her family. When they move to a suburban development they think they are finally safe but when their neighbour starts acting out of turn, they are torn between what is right to do. They could never imagined how their lives will change for the worst. It is a great story packed with twists and turns and intriguing characters. I really felt for the family and hated the neighbour, it is one of those books that you want to keep reading because you can’t believe what is going on. A terrific read.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
